Issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Chairman and Non‐Executive Directors

boohoo, one of the UK's largest pure‐play online, own brand fashion retailers, announces that it has issued new ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("New Ordinary Shares") to its Chairman and Non‐executive Directors as part of their compensation package.

A total of 37,539 New Ordinary Shares were issued at an effective price of 146.50 pence under the terms of their service agreements which require compensation to be made partly in cash and partly in Ordinary Shares. The New Ordinary Shares represent the share compensation due for the year ending February 2017 and are subject to lock in provisions for as long as the recipient remains a director of boohoo. The details of the issuance are set out below:

Director	Value of the share issuance	Number of New Ordinary Shares Issued	Number of Ordinary Shares held following the issuance	Percentage of the enlarged Ordinary Share Capital
Peter Williams	£25,000	17,064	478,414	0.04%
David Forbes	£10,000	6,825	271,365	0.02%
Sara Murray	£10,000	6,825	6,825	0.00%
Stephen Morana	£10,000	6,825	410,463	0.04%

Trading in the New Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, is expected to commence on or around 2 March 2017.

Total Voting Rights

Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 1,123,304,869. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
